AMD Catalyst 10.10 For Linux Officially Released

Phoronix: AMD Catalyst 10.10 For Linux Officially Released

While users of Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" have had access to an early release of the Catalyst 10.10 Linux driver that AMD had sent over to Canonical in advance in order to provide X.Org Server 1.9 support, the rest of the Linux-using public now finally has access to the official Catalyst 10.10 build. Those that have already used Catalyst 10.10 in the Ubuntu Maverick release have been rather excited for its changes...

From a similar issue (can't really call it a problem) this is just some leftover files (in /etc/ati) from a previous driver version that do nothing more than report a version number.
To fix this, remove driver, empty out /etc/ati (or wherever ubuntu puts it) and install driver. Should be all good after that.
